I walked past the house the other day and it seemed like the new owners are already doing a lot of work on the house. Huge dumpster in front and a lot of action. I feel like I’ve seen a few homes lately sell at top dollar, then to be remodeled. This house, 4909 Oakwood, 4321 Chula Senda… If there’s no added square footage, and the new owners are just updating the style to *their* preference, where is the added value in a resale? A good example is 1600 Fairmount. The house was actually really nice before the present owners remodeled and listed. They’re assuming their remodel adds value, to a home that didn’t technically need it.
Exactly, everyone has their own taste and in this price range they can afford to personalize
